With content focused primarily on the past two centuries, students using España y los españoles de hoy receive a much more focused study of modern-day Spanish civilization and culture than they would with other books that provide basic overviews of the past two thousand years in Spain.

   

  España y los españoles de hoy balances history, society and culture, challenging the student at an intellectually advanced level. Appropriate for advanced courses in Spanish civilization and culture, España y los españoles de hoy can also be used in history, and anthropology, and Spanish study abroad programs.
